Have to agree with Fallen, it’s unlike that zen and Bush are possible of marrying.

Sorry, can’t see Zen and Bush in the same universe. A good book though. Don’t anyone send this meme to George Bush. He would have to send out some poor flunky to find a book with 123 pages.

Bad joke ignore it.

Very nice. This one was an easy one. It really could have been worse.

You all read such “decent” books. I, on the other hand, like to read anything by Ann Rule and I adore a local writer named Ben Rehder, who has been described as a Texan Carl Hiaasen. He is HILARIOUS!!! and writes a series called Blanco County mysteries. Great stuff!!

… but they expect that the evil desire will melt away and disappear under the light and warmth of enlarged consciousness.

I’ve found that Zen has been especially helpful in this regard in my personal life. It allows for the stuff which is most relevant and important to me to stand out more readily and be more easy to concentrate, thereby leavin’ less free-mind for the distractions.

I always did dig Fromm, too.

I agree with Bluegrrrl. It just applies to the “Understander.”

The first thing that came to my mind was the the attempted de-homofication of Ted Haggard. And the just plain old falsehood of the modern Christian mentality. But Bush will work as well.

In or out of context, this is interesting reading, and remarkably applicable to the mental and ethical condition of The Great (un)Decider. He could definitely use some psychoanalysis and Zen transformation to overcome his greed, self-glorification, folly, and miscellaneous evil desires.
